切尔西通过官方网站宣布，队长约翰•特里将在赛季结束后离开切尔西，结束自己22年的切尔西生涯。请看本报昨日的报道：

    Chelsea captain John Terry will end his 22-year association with the London club at the end of the season, but the veteran defender wants to keep on playing.

    The 36-year-old Terry has dropped so far down the pecking order at Chelsea that the last of his 713 appearances came two months ago in the FA Cup. The center back last played in the English Premier League for the leader in November and has already started studying for coaching qualifications and learning Portuguese.

    报道中的pecking order就是“等级、排序”，最早是个德语词，原指鸟类群体中进食的顺序，由此体现个体在群体中的地位。例如：

    The pecking order may change, but pragmatism and efficiency will always count.

    权势等级会改变，但是实用和效率总是起关键作用。
